Flat-bottom dragboat rudder,left,right or center

[Flyin Rat Sass]

Any opinions?i'm thinking left side to compensate for prop walk.but most straight line boats i've seen have them on the right.years ago when i ran my first one of these i ran it with the prop 3/4 submerged with good results---any thoughts on this?the boat is 36 in.long and 15 wide,with an O.S. Max81 for power.any ideas on a starting point for prop choices would be helpfull.

thanks.

Cool paint job RAT Sass. I would start in the center just as you have it, then go from there.

Thanks ,i just wish i could figure out how to get the true colors to photograph corectly(the blue is a deep royal blue)might be because in the sun light you need welding goggles to look directly at the boat...lol

If anybody has a prop recommendation for the same boat but in the 27 inch version, running a OS CZ.12, or OS CVR.15 I would greatly appreciate it. I'm still working on the drive strut (couldn't afford $50-$100 to buy it). Sure wish I had that fancy glitter job on mine, it looks a lot better than my rattle can job lol
